What is the Escarpment Project?

The Escarpment Project started as a single waterfall clean up at the Devil’s Punchbowl 6 years ago in Stoney Creek with 75-100 volunteers.

Today, it’s the largest volunteer environmental cleanup in Ontario, and the largest one day environmental cleanup in Canada.Volunteers gather at various locations across the Hamilton escarpment from Dundas through Hamilton and Stoney Creek to Grimsby and remove the litter and debris that has been left.

After the cleanup event, at the Punchbowl Market, there’s a volunteer appreciation BBQ festival that volunteers and the general public can attend. The BBQ festival has a beer garden, local live music, food and green vendor booth and sales of rain barrels.

Volunteers along with the general public are invited to drop off recyclables (tires, electronics, scrap metal, paint cans and batteries) and stick around and enjoy the BBQ, beer and bands and purchase rain barrels.

Why does it matter?

The city of Hamilton is home to more than 100 waterfalls and cascades, most of which are on or near the Bruce Trail as it winds through the Niagara Escarpment. These scenic views not only serve as visiting sites for tourists, they are also iconic landmarks that residences of Hamilton often turn to to unwind and relax near with a hike.
